His swing honestly looks a little unconventional but you can't argue against the EV data. Consistently high EV was cited as a primary reason he was drafted 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hankchifan Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 Great pitching by Lucas and a power surge is a formula for victory against any team. Glad to see the guys getting more balls up the air including several big flys,rather than a lot of ground balls. Don’t stop now boys. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dodgers find a way to make situations like this work. Getting either Burger or Moncada some time at 2b before the playoffs would be good. Today, there was a total of 1 ground ball by the Astros. Burger could have handled that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodon, Gio, Lynn, & Cease all have above-average strikeout rates and are FB pitchers. Keuchel is the only guy that will consistently rely on infield defense in this rotation. I definitely think it's worth sneaking Burger in at 2B to see if he can handle it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, the Dodgers make having too many good players work. Guys need to play multiple positions, gotta rotate players to keep them fresh. The idea of 9 guys playing 162 is really outdated. Right now, TLR is doing a nice job finding time for Engel (whose work load had to be managed), Goodwin, Sheets, Burger, etc. The thing that surprises me is that Leury seems to play more than anyone except maybe Abreu.
